What does a Scandinavian e with an umlaut sound like?

The Scandinavian "e" with an umlaut (ä) sounds like the "a" in the English word "cat".

Here are some examples:

* Swedish: "äpple" (apple) sounds like "app-leh"

* Norwegian: "bær" (berry) sounds like "bair"

* Danish: "hår" (hair) sounds like "hoar"

Remember that the "ä" sound is a bit more open than the "a" in "cat" and is often described as a short, sharp sound.
